Well it looks like I have some others who are with me on this, here is a part of NationalNet (NatNames) statement:
Let's say that you want to transfer a domain from "XYZ Domain Registrar" to NatNames. In the past, you would initiate a transfer through NatNames and our system would generate a confirmation email, sending it to the owner of the domain. The owner would follow the steps in that email to confirm their request to transfer their domain to NatNames. Once confirmation was received, NatNames would contact the current registrar and the current registrar would also generate a confirmation email to which the owner of the domain must respond. Once that was complete the transfer would take place. In a perfect world this system would work quite nicely, but in the real world it did not. Losing registrars became notorious for not sending out confirmation emails, in effect stopping the transfer of the domain away from their company.
continued....
There has been a lot of speculation about this new policy; however, this will make transferring domains to NatNames a lot easier. With regard to the rumors that this new policy will make domain slamming / hijacking / stealing easier, this is simply not true. As the owner of the domain, you must still confirm a transfer with the gaining registrar in order for the transfer to take place.
